Thursday Night Throwdown: 11/03/11

Do they have power Connecticut? LOL

Oh no! all these spiders are at are sick dance party!

My first time on a TNT hence me loving the camera!

There is a spoiler in this TNT that I was not happy to hear, Brad needs to think before he speaks.

Anyone else having issues with the Streaming GB Video player?

I play it at around 27:20 and it says "Play Again".

After watching the Battlefield 3 TNT (which had a great player), and this one, I really think Thursday Night Throwdown would benefit from finding someone that can actually play the game's muliplayer very well, even if it's not necessarily someone in the office (this would be a great way to implement the community). That way, the Giant Bomb crew can commentate without worrying about playing well in the game. Because honestly, it's always painful to watch multiple deaths as a result of stupid, bone-headed mis-sights or unfamiliarity.

Or it could be extremley funny. No one is here to watch them play like pro's.

I dunno, after about 30 minutes, I get a little tired of Brad/Ryan completely failing to observe their surroundings and getting jacked by guys that a remotely aware player would've at least rotated the camera towards. I don't expect nonstop headshots and huge kill:death ratios, but a lot of this TNT was "spawn, run towards objective, Brad only paying 50% attention so he gets shot down by a guy right in front of him without Brad ever firing a bullet or raising his gun."

I know it's a distracting setting on the couch, but at a certain point, I feel like just listening to the (funny and usually entertaining) audio while I do something else, because the video stream is just them dying in the same ways over and over. It can get boring.

I guess they changed back to the original format of TNT?

I really enjoyed the Gears 3 TNT with 5 guys from the office just playing Co-op together.

They never totally did away with the original format. However, beforehand, they made it MANDATORY that it always be a multiplayer game they can play with random people from the community.

Now, if there just isn't a particularly interesting 16+ player multiplayer game out that week, or there is but they think the co-op is more interesting and 4 GB staff members are interested (Dead Island and Gears 3), they don't force themselves to play a multiplayer game with the community.

The conversation about melee in shooters drove me insane. One from the back and two from the front was done by Halo almost ten years ago so i would hardly call it 'mixed up' in this.

I love Jeff in this! Bringing the comedy!

The Progressive HD version of this video doesn't load.

I'm from Connecticut, and I can vouch that in most of CT's cities, people do indeed drink form toilet tanks.

Hahaha. Someone playing with the clan tag "GAY?". Mega64 fan up in heeere.

I've never had problems with that before, only that the video hangs if I pause it for more than a minute or two.

The shots of the guy's heads remind me of Starcraft unit portraits.

Brad is a lip licker

maybe you ought to piss off to some other site if you dont like the personalities here.

Uh hey Ryan....Uncharted 3 is not rated M

@Hizang: I waited until I finished the game before I watched this because of your post, hence my comment almost a month late, but now that I've seen it I'm not sure about what spoiler you are talking about, or if you were joking or just much more sensitive to SPOYLURZ!!!! than I. Aw well. Nice TNT.

@jeff@brad@vinny I miss old Giant Bomb. I will forever live in the archives. =(
